100,000 Adium Downloads

This morning the Renkoo Adium Message Style passed 100,000 downloads!

Congrats to all, and please download Renkoo for your Adium or your Firefox if you haven’t already.

Renkoo Adium Message style open sourced

The Mac chat application Adium released version 1.0 a few days ago, and Lifehacker recommends it to Mac users.

The most popular of the Adium message styles is the Renkoo message style, which as its author Torrey Rice says, “was born of the awesome web application by the same name”.

With the release of Adium Message style – Renkoo, v2.3, the graphical assets of Renkoo are now available open sourced under the BSD and AFL license.

What does that mean? According to Torrey, “relatively soon I will be making a page that hosts not only the open source theme assets but also the source Photoshop files I used to create the theme. More details to follow! :)”

Very, very awesome. Simple and unobtrusive, yet very fun.

Just to make it clear: Renkoo did not rip off Adium’s look-and-feel… We shared our look and feel with them. 🙂
